MOLANDS Match weights to 100lb caught this week but in general the fishing has been a little bit tougher this week. The better catches have come from the near bank either fishing right up to the margin or just down the first shelf. Maggot, caster and banded hard pellet have been the top baits. Best pegs are 2, 4, 9, 10, 12, 17, 29, 42 – 48 and 54 – 58.

GEARYS Gearys was still a little patchy with the carp starting to look as though they are about to spawn. Match weights close to 100lb were caught this week and the evening sessions have been best. Bomb and 8mm hard pellet, method feeder to the middle stumps and down the margins with corn or worm over ground bait have been the best tactics. Top pegs are 1, 11 – 13, 16 – 23, 27, 31 and 36.

LITTLE GEARYS Fishing shallow with pellet waggler, candle or long pole and pellet have been the most productive methods during the day. In the afternoons, fishing down the margin with paste, corn, or pellet has accounted for some big bags of carp and F1’s. Best pegs are 3, 7, 9 – 12, 21 and 24 – 29.
